Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/hit-and-run

Generally speaking the premise is: simply put first of all is we have this comic book approach with small segments of this film; Batman Forever 1995. But when this music video promoting movie is different is where it overlaps from one world to the other now and again; for an example we have Edward Nygma/Riddler appearing in this music video in animated form and as this project only going on for about 5 minutes the framework and pacing doesn't have any time to waste as it is just a washed of momentum from beginning to end with likewise a visual story to tell with a kick posterior song/track.

Art and action; the band; U2 are in this video in one way or another, yes if you're wondering with the classic comic book strip/frame approach so they went with the authentic comic book experience, with in hindsight I think it is safe to say graphic novel as well as in its artistic visions as in its dark nature and when I say dark nature I mean by its presentation and not its content even though we have a hit-and-run it is tastefully done or as tastefully done as you can do those kind of things.

Character developments: what I found most interesting towards the very closing stages of this music video was/is we see Bono [lead singer and primarily lyricist for the band U2;] doing this Scooby Doo style of reveal to put across is he Bono or is he the devil or is he Batman; I am guessing/speculating here he was maybe trying to indicate; we choose who we show to the rest of the world, it may or may not be who we are inside though; this was just my take away from this turn of events in this music video.

This film receives: 10/10, this is top-notch entertainment; it has so much happening in it; in one way or another that this mark was incredibly easy to give to it and finally it has some awards accredited to it; 1 Winner MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) 1995 VMA International Viewer's Choice: MTV Europe U2 and from the same award ceremony/event just instead 1 Nominee Best Video from a Film U2 Shared with: Batman Forever.
